My outlaws gifted me a new digital camera for my 37th birthday to replace my circa 1999 3.1MP Olympus model. The new camera is a Cannon PowerShot A700. I’m very impressed with the improvements in digital cameras (overall -all models). On my model, I noticed: The set-up &...

Summer Vacation Detail: I detailed the exterior of my brothers 2004 Saab 9-3 last week. His car has 50+ K on the clock, and sits outside 24x7 (he lives in Michigan). My brother has been bugging me about a ‘clean up’ –so this one was fun. I thanked him several times for...

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee – 106K on the clock. This SUV was filthy inside and out. The paint was filled with swirls, RIDS, stains, etching –a little bit of everything on this one. The owner runs the SUV through a tunnel wash once a month, and that’s about all of the care this SUV gets. Here...

2004 Mazda Miata -28K on the clock. I posted this one up for a neighbor -he saw DC for the 'first time' tonight and got a kick out of it. He thinks we're all sick!!! (LOL). One of my neighbors called me over this evening for a ‘cold one’ and to show off the Mazda Miata that he picked up this...

1997 GP -120K on the clock. This is a neighbor’s car (daily driver) and it sits outside 24 x 7. It sees a dealership tunnel wash & dirty shop towels once a week. Here's a before shot: I was asked to wash/polish/protect the paint. Wash: -Bubble Bath / Foam Gun -Amazing Roll off &...

My Shop Vac Pro died last weekend after chocking down about 10lbs. of dog hair & filth, while detailing a 2000 300M. I was a bit disappointed to see it poop out after 2 short years of service. I decided to buy something with a little more power. I landed on the Sears Clean and Carry 5gal...

My wife's Black Tahoe has been idle for the past few weeks. School is out -so it's time to experiment! Over the past 2-3 years synthetic products have invaded the market -both OTC and Boutique. I haven't been convinced that carnuba & synthetics can't live together , and have seen nothing on...

With the exception of the front fender (thanks to some dealer installed swirls), I haven’t polished the Tahoe since last December (a record for me). I’ve been very pleased with Zaino products sitting on top of the Tahoe. Over the months some light marring has built up, but I’m trying to hold...

If you live in the NE, you've either had scorching heat/humidity, or non stop thunderstorms over the past week. I guess it's better than salt & snow :) We had a break in the weather for a few hours today, so I took advantage of it and cleaned up our rides. Wash: EO & foam gun. They have...

My parents are in town for the week, and Mom's Mini-Van has never looked better:) I think it's been SEVERAL months since it has been touched (i.e. -the last time they visited us). Tonight's goal was to clean the beast. The wash process (exterior/interior) took over 2 hours this evening...

I manage an IT Development Team in Philadelphia for a Global Publishing Company. We outsourced some of our development functions to India. Earlier this year I made a trip to India, and it was a big culture shock! You had to be VERY careful around water and could not eat anything that may have...

2003-04 Cadillac Deville. This car used to belong to the CEO of MBNA (now retired). It was originally dressed in Champaign paint, but the CEO had it resprayed ‘MBNA’ green. The paint quite a few sanding marks, too many RIDS to count. Swirls were the least of our problems. The current...

We've had spot showers most every day this week (only when I'm on the road), so I had to wash the car for the 9999999'th time this evening. During the pre-rinse, I spotted a moderate scuff on my front bumper. I take the train to work each day -and try to park in BFE, but you see folks banging...

I've been using the Scott's system on our lawn for years, and for the most part I've been happy with it. About the only time it fails is during dry weather, and/or when the grubs come out. I ran across an article a few years ago about a golf course grounds keeper that uses a 'home brew' of...

A few sheepskin questions...... What brand do you prefer and why? I'm especially interested in what folks with black paint are using. Where do you buy your mitts? Does anyone know where you can buy them in bulk (6 or more @ a discounted price)? FWIW -I've been using 3 brands. Euro...

I didn't take any before shots (a good thing), but trust me -my garage floor was looking pretty nasty. I decided to epoxy the floor (again), add a few lights, and paint. -My summer project. So here's the start of this summer's project. I had an epoxy coating on the floor a few years ago...

2006 Infinity M35: WOW –This car is something else. It was loaded to the hilt: Directional Headlights, Blue-tooth, DVD Audio / 14 (or 15, I forget...) Speaker Bose 5.1 surround, Heated and Cooled Seats, Navigation, Rear View Camera, -i.e the kitchen sink. It even had a sensor that tripped when...

I decided to clean up the Tahoe this weekend, since we’re about to get 7-10 days of rain. The pic’s were taken about 10 minutes before the downpour started. Oh joy J I spent about 4 hours on the Tahoe inside and out, and for the most part I used Zaino from top to bottom. Products & Process...
